Anya murmured, "You're being harsh on me right now."

Leo, feeling wronged and frustrated, spluttered, "You, I mean, you are completely misusing those big eyes of yours."

The most hot-tempered member of the household, Mia, was seen by her as the most gentle. His grumpy uncle was viewed by her as a dear elder. Even towards someone like Molly, she managed to treat her like a friend.

But he, who was overworked, exploited, and treated like a doormat, was the fiercest in Anya's eyes?! The world had gone topsy-turvy.

He stomped away, leaving Anya behind.

Anya turned to Mia. "Auntie, did I upset Leo?"

Mia nodded. "Anya, you really... can't read people."

Anya sighed, but still, she felt Leo was the fiercest.

Anyway, she had upset Leo. Anya was clueless about how to cheer him up.

In the evening, Anya brought a plate of food she cooked herself to Leo's door and knocked. "Leo, I cooked you some pasta. I'm sorry."

Just then, Andre returned home. Recently, he had been arranging his company's work so that he would have more free time to accompany his wife in the hospital.

Hearing Anya's voice from upstairs, he sat next to his wife. "What's going on?"

Mia gave a brief summary, "Anya said Leo is the fiercest in our family, which upset him. She cooked an apology meal for him."

Andre chuckled upon hearing this, understanding his nephew's plight. "It makes sense that Leo would be angry."

After a while, Leo opened his door upstairs. "Who allowed you back into the kitchen?"

Anya replied, "I wouldn't be able to cook if I didn't go to the kitchen."

"I didn't ask you to cook for me." Leo took the plate from her. "From now on, you're not allowed in the kitchen. If you want something, ask our house chef to make it for you."

Mia beamed with a knowing smile. She pulled out her phone to update Molly on the latest development of the lovebirds.

Andre glanced at the two's chat logs. "You guys, always fooling around."

Then he got up, calling his father and brother to the study to discuss some matters.

As he passed Leo's room, he saw him chatting with Anya at the door. "When was I ever fierce to you?"

Anya bit her lip. "Leo, why don't you eat first?"

Andre chuckled and pretended not to see, walking away.

Later, Anya admitted to Leo that he wasn't fierce. It was then that Leo forgave her.

The next day, Leo took Anya to school.

The students watched as Anya stepped out of the university's most popular boy's car for the second day in a row, causing quite a stir on social media.

An apology post was pinned to the top, which surprisingly gained Anya some fame.

During class, Leo's phone suddenly buzzed. He picked it up to see a message from Anya. [Leo, where is Building 15? I need to process some paperwork for moving out, and I need my advisor's signature. She said she's in her office in Building 15.] Leo replied: [Forgot already, didn't you?]

Anya awkwardly admitted: [There are too many buildings. I forgot some of them.]

Then, she guiltily added: [Leo, if you're in class, don't reply to my message. I'll ask someone on the way.]

Leo glanced at the time. [Where are you?]

Anya sent him a photo of her location.

Leo replied: [My class ends in 3 minutes. Wait there for me.]

Afterwards, Leo turned to the smirking Molly. "You saw the chat. I'll be stepping out for a bit. If the teacher calls my name, cover for me."

Molly gave him an okay sign.

After class, Leo grabbed his phone and went to find Anya.

Not long after, the three's group chat name was changed to: Did Leo get a girlfriend today?

When Leo found Anya, she couldn't even lift her head out of embarrassment. "I... I'm a bit directionally challenged."

Leo thought back to when she called him fierce yesterday. He held back his irritation and said, "Let's go. Follow me."

He led the way with Anya following behind. Halfway there, they passed a grey building. Leo pointed to it and quizzed Anya, "Which building is this?" Anya kept silent.

Leo turned to look at the silent Anya. "God, you're hopeless."

He pointed at the two connected buildings and said, somewhat frustratedly, "This is Building 3 and 4."

Anya quickly nodded. She felt more nervous now than when facing her strict high school principal.

On the way to Building 15, Leo introduced the campus layout to Anya again.

When it was time for the advisor's signature, Leo accompanied Anya to the office. After the advisor signed, they still needed the department head's seal.

Before Anya could say anything, Leo took the form and asked the advisor, "Where is the department head's office?"

Once they got the answer, he thanked the advisor, took Anya by the hand, and left. He guided her the entire way through the process of changing her dorm.

After everything was settled, it was time for class again. He still had a class, so he handed the form to Anya. "Do you have class later?"

Anya shook her head.

Leo pointed around the campus. "Now, go recognize each building one by one. I'm going to class."

Anya obediently nodded, taking Leo's word as law.

At lunch, the cafeteria was crowded. Anya, being thoughtful, got there early and saved seats for Molly and Leo. She even bought drinks in advance. This saved the two a lot of time looking for seats. Molly was increasingly pleased with this "niece-in-law".

"Auntie, I wanted to ask you something. My classmates are all joining clubs. Did you join any?" Anya asked.

Molly replied, "No, joining a club would interfere with my studies."

Leo rolled his eyes. Well, this was the first time he heard of Molly studying carefully.

Molly asked the girl across the table, "Anya, what club are you thinking of joining?"

After being beaten in the last fight, she said, "I want to join a Taekwondo club." "Forget it. The university's dojos are half-baked. We have a pro at home." Molly said.

Anya then said, "Then I want to learn public speaking."

Molly said, "I'm a pro."

"Computer science."

Molly replied, "Leo is a whiz."

Anya was a bit confused about what club she should join.

Molly chimed in, "Let me put it this way. If you fancy learning martial arts, your Aunt Mia is your go-to. If you want to speak eloquently, come and see your Auntie Molly. Leo can teach you computer science or help you get your driver's license. If it's yoga you're interested in, Naomi can help. For financial advice, your Uncle Andre is the man. And if you want to sharpen your logical thinking, that's Chad's forte. Well, even if you want to learn ghost stories or astrology, we can find someone for you. The rest is up to you." Anya replied, "... Auntie, I love you guys."

Raising an eyebrow, Molly said, "And we love you too, sweetie. But remember, if we were an actual family, we'd love you even more."
